  1. He doesn’t understand that shit, he’s playing checkers.
  2. We absolutely missed him this year
  3. I bet your wife is pissed at you unless she is in menopause or is an Eskimo.
  4. Really great coverage
  5. I hope the entire world stands up to him. Someone needs to have the balls to do it.
  6. I’ll be honest, first time I’ve heard the national anthem in a few weeks just now tuning into bills v chiefs. Not sure how I feel about it, brown, black, immigrant, women, queer, gay and trans not welcome. Saw one player with a tear, I’m sure it was about being in the game, I pretended it was solidarity with all of us who are deemed “other”. That helped a smidge. What a country we live in. Heartache is the only way to describe it. Same feeling I have with Texas. Just pure heartache.
  7. Won’t work without added pressure.
  8. nevermind.
  9. because you hate america and you are into dudes but are afraid to tell us for some strange reason. I mean that's all I could think of. to be fair I wouldn't either but that's because they would leave me in the morning because they are straight, and I don't like heartbreak very much.
  10. not sure what you mean but if you mean rely on gravity that won't work, you need pressure. not even a pump will suffice, you need a pump and a pressure tank plus the storage. we have up to 60,000 gallons of rain water collection capacity and have the pump, pressure tank and filters for the house. we considered a fire hose attachment to the exterior of the house but without a significant amount of pressure it's worthless for fighting a fire unless it's a small fire and a garden hose (1/2 - 3/4 inch diameter hose) connected to the house system is sufficient.
  11. Would be maximum leopard face eating, but I’d admit the complexity of the intertwining between CA and the feds would lead to so many unknown consequences. US tax revenue would take a serious hit, and CA would be burdened with so many costs of nationhood it would suddenly be quite poor, I think, as it has to spend to establish the elements of governance generally reserved for the feds. It’s fun to think about the stupidity of the red states letting it happen.
  12. There’s a slim route where that could actually happen. There are enough stupid red states that might authorize it if CA somehow got to the point of making the petition. That would be fucking amazing.
  13. Get in line lady. Some of us marginalized folk voted for Harris, as I drink my morning coffee talking to my wife about whether my passport will be confiscated or worse if I will be detained when we travel over spring break. so just fuck off with your “we trusted” a convicted felon, found civilly liable for rape piece of shit, racist mob boss. Give me a fucking break.
  14. Talks tough to Putin then does what Putin wants, his base only notices what he says? That’s a new strategy isn’t it?
  15. His early 50s you silly bean.
  16. I’m sad, I’m sorry for your loss.
  17. Fascists if it’s “Christ centered” and they aren’t a target.
  18. You mean there isn’t a 72 inch water spigot from Peugeot Sound - the largest fresh water reserve in the PNW - directly flowing to Los Angeles just waiting to be used for this?
  19. True but there’s no rational basis to pardon the guy. The unhinged belongs to the newsmaker not the news reporter or the audience commenting.
  20. Our house is ICF and stucco exterior with a metal roof and we were denied coverage by all but one insurer and rates went up 70-80% year over year. Nothing is insurable anymore.
  21. No fault re what was there, compassion and sorrow for what was lost, but we have to build back with more resilience.
  22. Houses in California fire zones need to be rebuilt out of concrete - there are numerous products from cinder blocks to insulated concrete forms. The land is already so expensive it can be economically viable. And you really can’t tell except at doors and windows where the exterior walls are 15-18 inches deep. Reduce the use of flammable materials, full stop. Not sure the impact from earth quakes. Energy efficiency would soar.
  23. A bunch of inspectors general were fired overnight in contravention of federal regulations. nah he’s not looking to remove oversight and accountability….
  24. After further consideration, that’s my opening bid. If I could get early 50s Robert Redford I might do it for the thrill of it.
